Korn to release new album 'Paradigm Shift' in October

Korn has a title and a release date for their new album. Frontman Jonathan Davis and returning guitarist Brian "Head" Welch tell "Rolling Stone" their eleventh studio effort will be called The Paradigm Shift.

Scheduled to arrive in music stores on October 1st, Welch says there will be plenty for longtime fans to enjoy with the new material. He explains that after eight years away from the group, he came back with the intention of doing "the old Korn vibe, but with a new twist."

As for the new album's lyrics, Davis says they were heavily affected by his struggle to stop using anti-depressant medication. He says The Paradigm Shift was written in a haze, and a lot of it was so stream-of-consciousness that even he doesn't know what he's talking about some of the time.
